What is help with "mat" here? You mean this position? If this is an ongoing chess game or something, then I don't want to unethically give you help, but if this is just a chess puzzle etc. then I can tell you what I would do with White to move here happy.png

Smothered Checkmate is a cool pattern, but it seldom comes up in games and is a bit more advanced to play compared to more common checkmates such as backrank or dovetail checkmate.
